Thank You!

On behalf of The Willow Domestic Violence Center, I extend our deepest gratitude for your presence and support at The Willow's Garden Party 2025.

The Willow is dedicated to providing comprehensive services to survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking, but we cannot do this work without you. You are our foundation, our roots. Your generous contributions provide shelter, education programs, advocacy, and so much more to those we serve. With your help, we raised over $30,000 at this year's Garden Party. So, thank you once again for your unwavering support!

Together, we are making a difference in the lives of survivors and working towards a happier, healthier, and safer community.

Warm regards,

Roxie Lytle

The Willow Garden Party brings together community leaders, advocates, and supporters to celebrate resilience and hope in a beautiful garden setting. Held on the same weekend as the Kentucky Derby, the Garden Party is a celebration of community, safety, and fabulous fashion, featuring show-stopping hats and mint juleps.

Don your finest Derby attire—seersucker suits, extravagant hats, and colorful dresses—as we enjoy brunch, signature cocktails, and live entertainment while we raise funds to support survivors of domestic violence. In true Derby fashion, we’ll host a Best Hat contest for guests in attendance.

Raffles, auctions, and more—all for a great cause!

All proceeds directly help The Willow Domestic Violence Center provide crisis resources, shelter, and support for those in need.
